New issue 1204 by v.villenave: Documentation and regtests needed for  
external font files
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1204

LilyPond is getting increasingly good at handling external fonts:
- ly:font-config-add-directory and ly:font-config-add-font have introduced  
the ability to use specific font files when compiling a score.
- OTF, TTF, Type1 and more recently WOFF fonts are supported (TeX fonts  
aren't, IIUC).
- Experimental support for 3rd-party music fonts (namely Gonville) has been  
introduced as well.

All of these nice features are currently not documented in the NR, nor are  
they demonstrated in the regtests. Can we/should we do something about it?
